So the fact that the cop stood aside as >they walked in doesn't mean they weren't breaking the law. Of course there's an argument. There's always an argument. Your honor, I make a motion to dismiss the charge. My client was not trespassing on the grounds of the Capitol. The barriers had not yet been erected when he entered the Capitol grounds. Prosecution has presented no evidence that the defendant evaded the barrier. If he wasn't trespassing on the Capitol grounds, then he wasn't trespassing having entered the Capitol through an open door. That's a valid defense and those charges should have been dismissed. Please don't argue that someone should be prosecuted on the basis of inference and not evidence,
